Indy Boys Fly The Biggest Heds
Now that's what I call a banner headline. Yesterday's Indy Star had a nice enough 180pt Gotham Condensed on page one, but it took a win for the Colts in Superbowl XLI to produce this whopper: a 9,800pt headline emblazoned on the outside of the newspaper's offices. Biggest Gotham ever?
Eli Manning's got to be wondering why, after quarterbacking the Giants to a victory in Superbowl XLII, he hasn't gotten the same reception as his brother Peyton here. Every single one of the New York dailies uses an H&FJ font, and our office buildings are considerably taller: couldn't 620 Eighth Avenue or 220 West 42nd Street manage a Gotham Condensed headline in 50,000pt? (Where's that Christo guy when you need him?) —JH

A Banner Day
Typeface: Gotham Condensed Bold and Black
Primary season means banner headlines, and banner headlines mean condensed fonts. Above, some of our favorite Gothamophiles working hard to cement Gotham's connection to politics; here's Gotham Condensed being put through its paces at a range of sizes. Scott Goldman wins the size prize at The Indianapolis Star — and his state wasn't even voting yesterday!
We'll post some political front pages from the New York papers, provided they ever stop talking about the Superbowl. —JH
